GIS (Geographic Information Systems)

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are tools that help us collect, analyze, and visualize geographic data. They combine maps with data to provide insights about location-based information, such as city planning, environmental monitoring, and resource management. For example, GIS can show how population density affects public services or track changes in land use over time. By overlaying different types of information on a map, GIS helps decision-makers understand complex spatial relationships, making it easier to address various challenges related to our environment and communities.
